The evoSPEED Star is designed with the jumps in mind, which makes it a very supportive spike. In our kids running spikes guide we noted it can comfortably be worn for sprints, jumps, hurdles and even longer distances.

The evoSPEED Star 9 is PUMA’s current entry-level multi-event spike, with a breathable mesh upper, a full-length EVA midsole for cushioning, six interchangeable pins and an abrasion-resistant rubber heel for durability.

Who it’s for: kids, juniors and multi-event athletes who want a supportive spike for everything.
